About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, including walks, playtime, feeding, medications, and multi-pet households. I love keeping pets happy and comfortable in their own homes while you’re away. My visits include walks or playtime, fresh food and water, plenty of attention and cuddles, and photo updates so you know your pet is doing great! 🐾 With a military and paramedic background and a flexible homeschooling schedule, I’m dependable, responsible, and ready to give your pets lots of love and attention. Since we can’t have pets of our own due to an allergy in our family, I’m happy to get my pet fix by loving on yours! ❤️ My flexible stay-at-home homeschooling schedule allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day and can give your pets the specialized attention and care they need without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I’ll follow their routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep them happy and secure in their own home. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I've always loved animals. I willfully care for my friends pets even when they don't ask lol. I see it also as free therapy for me. It's truly a blessing that we have animals to help and comfort us through life. I had a needy great dane I was deeply in love with. He was a huge priority for me so he was very spoiled. Pet care helps me with my depression as well so I take it very seriously. I had a great dane in a one bedroom unit. His name was timber and he was the sweetest and laziest dog ever. He loves all animals, even birdies. He used to have a cat friend who would clean his face while he just laid there enjoying every second of it 😆

About: About Me 🐾 • I’m a 20 year old college student studying veterinary medicine trying to gain experience doing what I love - working with animals 🤍 • I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and lots of other exotic animals for 7+ years and genuinely love spending time with them!

(Reactivity with other dogs can be worked around while I’m walking them.) • Please let me know about your dog’s routine, personality/triggers, any medications/allergies, and anything else you’d like to add that will help me take the best care of them! Pricing & Booking 🐾 • Higher maintenance dogs may have a slightly higher rate depending on the specific care. • Located in Homestead, FL. • I’m usually available from 9am-9 pm on weekdays and weekends! (Please note that these times may vary based on holidays, special events, etc!) I will always let you know in advance if I won’t be available on a certain day/time. When your pup is with me, my main goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’ll follow their normal routine as much as I can, whether that’s their usual feeding time, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or anything else they’re used to at home. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me so they can stay on their normal routine. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your baby gets plenty of attention, love, and playtime during our visit. I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and want them to feel safe and comfortable while I’m with them. 🐾❤️ For drop-ins, I can help with things like feeding, potty breaks, refreshing their water, giving them some playtime and attention, and making sure they’re doing okay while you’re away. For walks, I’ll make sure they get a good walk at their own pace and plenty of time to sniff and enjoy themselves. I’ll also send you updates and pictures during each visit so you know how your baby is doing and can see what we’re up to! I’ll always do my best to communicate clearly and make sure your dog gets the care and attention they deserve. ❤️

About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for and build strong relationships with a variety of cats and birds over the years. When friends or family have needed to travel, I’ve also cared for their dogs, typically for trips of up to two days. These experiences have helped me understand the different needs and personalities of each pet, while reinforcing the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive, reliable care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention. I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I have a Pitbull named Chance and a Calico cat named Shawty who are my world. I also have experience with exotic animals, such as lion and tiger cubs, lemurs, small primates, etc. I am the designated pet sitter in the friend group! I have a very open and irregular schedule, as I am a full time musician and usually create music late nights. This allows flexibility to be able to care for your babies. Update pictures are very important to me, so I am the same when caring for others pets. If you have home cameras, I feel even more comfortable so you can watch live and first hand as I do my job! I follow instructions to the T when it comes to pet care. If your fur baby has any special ways to prepare their food, any specific route they like to go on walks or whatever they may need, any background music or show that you play for them.. I’m happy to accommodate. For example my Pitbull does not eat if I am out of town, and likes to sleep with ocean wave sounds.. it helps him if whoever is pet sitting him stays for a couple of minutes so he can feel comfortable and eat, and also ask my Google speaker to play ocean waves before leaving. I wouldn’t treat your pets needs any different than I’d expect for someone to treat mine for their health and safety.
“Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience living with and caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. As a current nursing school student, I bring a high level of clinical observation and responsibility to my pet care. I am deeply comfortable with specialized medical needs, including administering insulin injections, oral medications, and eye drops. Having cared for a senior dog with diabetes and blindness, I understand the patience and gentle touch required for pets who need extra support. My schedule is very consistent! I am a nursing student, which means I have a few set days for classes and clinicals, but I am otherwise very flexible for drop-ins and walks. I prioritize clear communication and will always let you know my exact windows of availability well in advance. Safety is my top priority. I am trained to be observant of a pet’s physical and emotional state. Whether we are in your home or out on a walk, I maintain a 'paws-on' approach to supervision. I am also comfortable managing multi-pet households, as I personally care for a 'mini-zoo' including dogs, cats, a turtle, and even shrimp!
About: I've been living with animals all my life. I've taken care of several different breeds of dogs and cats. I've even worked with local zoos and sanctuaries. I also assist in managing a local cat colony and do other things in the community to help out the animals. I couldn't see my life without animals. I will surely treat your fur baby with love and care just as if they are my own. Right now I am working from home part time and I have a flexible schedule, set schedules welcome, I'm up for morning walks, over night caring and weekends for your cat or dog. I prefer to care for your pet at your house. I can possibly accommodate one or two cats at my house. I live with three dogs and 5 cats and if you are ok with them being roommates for a day or so, we can definitely discuss that option. I am open to discuss any arrangements that will work for you and your family.

About: Since I was a child I’ve always loved all types of animals furry, non furry, big or small, doesn’t matter. I’ve always valued the love and patience each animal brings with them. That’s why I believe one of the most important things is providing your baby with a safe and comfortable place when you’re gone. 🥰🤗 I can ensure that your baby is family. I’m currently a student with lots of free time on my hands, this allows me to do what I love while following my desired career path. I also get to help owners feel safe and confident that their baby is being cared for properly I have a fenced yard, and a gated front door to ensure the safety of your pet! I have 3 other dogs to keep your dog company, and I can easily crate your pet incase of an emergency. We have fire blankets, and a closed in space to prevent any incidents, as well as an evacuation route in case of an emergency.
About: I’ve worked in the vet field for ten years and have owned dogs for the same amount of time. I am in love with my doggies and I treat them like my own children. I extend the same passion and love when I take care of other people’s babies, because I know how dear and important they are to our lives. I can administer medications for special need dogs and/or whichever other special instruction is needed. I have three full days off in the week, where I am available all day. The rest of the days, I am available before 10am and after 7pm. I have a fenced yard, and have a designated room for the dogs (filled with toys, pee pads, crates). Although they can roam around the house, it is never unsupervised.

About: I’m the biggest pet auntie, I love all types of animals! I used to have pets when I was growing up, and now I just love helping out my friends and family with theirs. I’m a really active person, so I can easily take your dogs out for runs, long walks, or fun trips to the dog parks to burn off energy. By request, I can also try my best to groom your dog it’s been a while, but I don’t mind helping. I’m very attentive and will do my best to accommodate your pets needs and work with them. I'm currently a student, so I have a lot of free time and a very flexible schedule. I'm open for whatever you need, just communicate! I love the outdoors and I’m hoping your pet does too! If they don’t, I don’t mind staying inside, but if they do like being outdoors, I will gladly take them to the park. If they prefer staying inside, I’ll keep them entertained and well-fed. I also don't mind accommodating any of your rules!
About: Cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Managed feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. Provided companionship and ensured pets felt safe while owners were away. Comfortable following specific instructions (medications, routines, crate training, etc.) Prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of love and attention. I am currently a stay at home mom so we spend lots of time outside! We are always going on walks as we live in a beautiful community with lots of paths and grass for playing. We have an apartment so space is limited here but we can go to the dog park, park, on walks, etc. They can roam freely throughout the house if house / potty trained.

My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I don’t usually have a busy schedule, so I’m often available to care for your furry friend. If possible, I kindly ask that you book at least three days in advance. This helps me plan my schedule and ensures I can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. I also provide lots of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation based on each pet’s personality and energy level. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind knowing they are being treated like family.
About: I've been a dog lover since I was born. I've participated in adoption and rescue campaigns for vulnerable puppies, understanding the needs of each one and respecting their routines. My intention is always to make them feel loved and cared for. I welcome shy, playful, and expert heart-stealing puppies. I recently moved to Miami and I have a part-time job, which allows me to dedicate myself to my true passion, which is caring for animals. I currently live in an apartment with private park areas and have transportation available to get around. I can also care for the pet at the owner's home for the pet's greater comfort.

Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Princeton is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,536 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Princeton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
